우수 관거 시스템에서 맨홀의 설치 시 연결관 내부와 맨홀의 내부는 여러 가지 수리학적 조건이 다르므로 수두손실의 발생이 필연적일 수밖에 없다. 현재 계획 또는 설계단계에서 수행되고 있는 관거 시설의 수리계산에는 연결관 내에서의 마찰손실만을 고려하여 설계를 수행하고 있으며, 맨홀에서의 수두 손실은 거의 대부분 고려되지 않고 있다. 단지 맨홀에서의 수두손실을 저감하기 위하여 하수도시설기준(환경부, 2005)상의 단차 및 인버트 규정만 있을 뿐, 우수 관거 설계에 직접적으로 필요한 적절한 맨홀의 손실계수가 제시되지 않고 있는 실정이다. 국외에서는 축소 수리 모형을 이용한 실험과 수치해석 기법 등을 이용하여 맨홀에서의 손실계수를 산정하는 연구가 꾸준히 진행되어 왔으나 국내에서는 맨홀의 손실계수 산정에 관한 연구가 미흡한 실정이며, 더욱이 맨홀에서의 손실계수 산정을 위한 상사성 적용에 관한 연구는 전무한 실정이다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 맨홀의 축척 변화에 따른 손실계수의 변화를 분석하기 위하여 하수도시설기준(환경부, 2005)의 특 1호(사각형) 맨홀을 각각 1/2과 1/5로 축소 제작하고, 수리실험 장치를 제작하였다. Froude 상사 법칙을 적용하여 1/2의 축소 모형의 실험 조건을 1/5 축소 모형의 값으로 환산하였으며, 각 축소 모형에 대한 수리 실험을 실시하였다. 과부하된 맨홀의 손실계수를 예측하는데 Froude 상사법칙의 사용 가능성을 확인 하였으며, 1/2 축소 모형과 1/5 축소 모형에서 산정된 손실계수 값이 0.45로 일치하고 있으므로 우수 관거 시스템의 맨홀 설계 시, 축소 수리 모형실험에서 산정된 손실계수의 직접적인 적용이 가능하다고 판단된다.

In this study, smoke movement in tunnel fire with natural and longitudinal ventilation systems has been investigated. Reduced-scale experiments were carried out under the Froude scaling using 14.55kW fire source with a wick and experimental data is obtained with 1/18 model tunnel test. Temperature profiles were measured under the ceiling and vertical direction along the center of the tunnel and poisonous gas was measured at emergency exit point. The results show that refuge time for 225m intervals of emergency exit in case of natural ventilation systems is 256 seconds and critical velocity for sufficient back-layer prevention is 2.8m/s for fire strength of 20MW.

The hydraulics of flow within the covered reach of urban streams is very complicated due to the accumulation and interference effect of eddies around the multiple piers supporting the covering slab. An extensive experimental study is done to quantitatively estimate the backwater rise effect caused by various arrays of multiple piers. The factors governing the backwater rise are found out to be the contraction ratio due to the piers, Froude number of the flow, longitudinal pier spacing, and the length of the covered reach. For a single section of lateral pier arrays the effect of contraction ratio and Froude number on the backwater rise is analyzed and a multiple regression equation is derived. The effect of multiple piers, arrayed in both lateral and longitudinal directions, on the backwater rise is analyzed in terms of the contraction ratio, Froude number,longitudinal pier spacing and the total length of the covered reach. A multiple regression equation for the backwater rise estimation is proposed based on the experimental data collected in the present study.

In this study, reduced-scale experiments were conducted to analyze an effect of tunnel slope on critical velocity. The 1/20 scale experiments were carried out under the Froude scaling using ethanol pool fire. Square pools ranging from 2.47 to 12.30㎾ were used experiments. Critical velocity varied with one-fourth power of the heat release rate. As the slope of the tunnel increases the critical velocity comes to be fast due to the increase of the chimney effect.

In this study, reduced-scale experiments as the alternative to a real-scale fire test were conducted to understand fire properties in tunnel, and their results were compared with those of numerical simulation. The 1/20 scale experiments were conducted under the Froude scaling since smoke movement in tunnel is governed by buoyancy farce. A numerical simulations were on performed 3D unstructured meshes with PISO algorithm and buoyant plume models. Results showed that data was in reasonable agreement with the numerical data of smoke velocity, temperature distribution, and clear height.

In this study reduced-scale experiments were conducted to analyze smoke movement in tunnel fire with jet fan, The 1/20 scale experiments were carried out under the froude scaling using gasoline pool fire range from 6.6 to 12.5 cm in diameter with total heat release rate from 0.714 to 4.77 kW. In the case of fires under the 2.5kW, backlaying was reduced about 40cm and smoke was effectively controled in downstream of the fan when operating the fan. The smoke layer was moved down and the ceiling temperature was decreased compared to that of without fan case in upstream of the fan, but the temperature in the lower part of the tunnel was increased.

This paper describes the structural analysis results of KARI General Small-scaled Rotor Test System (GSRTS) operated in KARI to verify operational safety. This GSRTS was developed to conduct a froude and mach small-scaled rotor test. This analysis was performed to investigate the structural Factor of Safety for the various small-scale rotor system like articulated or hingeless rotor and to check the operational capability using given operational design load. Specially, drive system has several bearings, mechanical gears, shaft, etc. and these parts must be required to achieve an operational safety. The calculation was done by using geometric data and material properties by analytical method. This rotor test system should be operated within these calculated Factor of Safety. Furthermore, the operational limitation should be defined as applied to small-scale rotor system of KUH in future.

In this study, the 1/20 reduced-scale experiments using Froude scaling were conducted to investigate the effect of longitudinal ventilation on the variation of burning rate in tunnel fires. The methanol square pool fires with heat release rate ranging from 3.57 kW to 10.95 kW were used. The burning rate of fuel was obtained by measured mass using load cell and temperature distribution were measured by K-type theomocouples in order to investigate smoke movement. The wind tunnel was connected with one side of the tested tunnel, and logitudinal ventilation velocity in the tested tunnel was controlled by power of the wind tunnel. In methanol fire case, the increase in ventilation velocity decreased the turning rate due to the direct cooling of fire plume. For the same dimensionless velocity(V), homing rate decreased as the size of pool fire increased.

In this study, the 1/20 reduced-scale experiments using Froude scaling were conducted to investigate the ventilation velocity of the variation of burning rate in tunnel fires. The heptane square pool fire with heat release rate ranging from 3.71~15.6 kW were used. The burning rate of fuel was obtained by measuring mass using load cell and temperature distributions were measured by K-type theomocouples in order to investigate smoke movement. The ventilation velocity in the tested tunnel was controlled by inverter of the wind tunnel. In heptane pool fire case, the increase in ventilation velocity incresed the burning rate due to the direct supply of oxygen to the fire plume. For the same dimensionless velocity($\bar{V}$), burning rate increased as the size of pool fire decreased.

The objective of this study was to analyze the smoke movement for the case of fire and to determine the interval between emergency exits in long tunnels. Based on Froude modeling, the 1/50 scaled model tunnel (20 m long) was constructed by acrylic tubes and tests were carried out systematically. From the strong relationship between CO propagation time and distance through the tunnel, it was found that the optimal escaping time was 6 minutes in case of 20MW fire. But, regarding passengers' psychological state under fire, another one minute of delay time should be considered. Therefore, the total escaping time should be estimated by 5 minutes. The interval between the emergency exits for vehicle passengers was calculated by 250 m with respect to the 5 minute of escaping time.
